my city
| Morphological Notes | Feminine singular noun in construct state with 1st person common singular pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun עִיר denotes a permanent, organized settlement (city/town) and is etymologically linked to the idea of watchfulness or alertness. The construct singular form with a 1st person common singular suffix yields "my city," preserving both the feminine singular noun and the possessive morphology. |
